23、 Speech and multimedia Transmission Quality (STQ). The present document describes a sound field recording and reproduction technique which can be applied for all types of terminals but is especially suitable for modern multi-microphone terminals including array techniques. The present document provi

24、des an additional simulation technique which can be used instead of the part 1 of ETSI multi-part deliverable ES/EG 202 396 “Speech quality performance in the presence of background noise“, as identified below: ETSI ES 202 396-1: “Background noise simulation technique and background noise database“

The background noise simulation can be used in conjunction with the objective test methods as desc

ETSI ETSI TS 103 224 V1.3.1 (2017-07)6 Introduction Background noise is present in most of the conversations today. Background noise may impact the speech communication p

28、erformance of terminal and network equipment significantly. Therefore testing and optimization of such equipment is necessary using realistic background noises. Furthermore reproducible conditions for the tests are required which can be guaranteed only under lab type conditions. Since modern termina

29、ls incorporate more advanced noise cancellation techniques, such as multi-microphone based noise cancellation, the use of microphone-array recording techniques and more realistic noise field simulations (compared to the method described in ETSI ES 202 396-1 i.7) are required. The present document ad

30、dresses this topic by specifying a methodology for recording and playback of realistic background noise fields under conditions that are well-defined and able to be calibrated in a lab type environment. Furthermore a database with real background noises is included. ETSI ETSI TS 103 224 V1.3.1 (2017

31、-07)7 1 Scope The quality of background noise transmission is an important factor, which significantly contributes to the perceived overall quality of speech. Terminals, networks, and system configurations including wideband, superwideband, and fullband speech services can be greatly improved with a

32、 proper design of terminals and systems in the presence of background noise. The present document: describes a sound field simulation technique allowing to simulate the real environment using realistic background noise scenarios for laboratory use; contains a database including relevant background n

33、oise samples for subjective and objective evaluation. The present document describes the recording technique used for the sound field simulation, the loudspeaker setup, and the loudspeaker calibration and equalization procedures. Furthermore the present document specifies the test room requirements

34、for laboratory conditions. The simulation environment specified can be used for the evaluation and optimization of terminals and of complex configurations including terminals, networks and others. The main application areas are: outdoor, office, home and car environment. The setup and database as de

35、scribed in the present document are applicable for: Objective performance evaluation of terminals in different (simulated) background noise environments. Speech processing evaluation by using the pre-processed speech signals in the presence of background noise, recorded by a terminal. Subjective eva

36、luation of terminals by performing conversational tests, specific double talk tests, or talking and listening tests in the presence of background noise. Subjective evaluation in third party listening tests by recording the speech samples of terminals in the presence of background noise. 2 References

47、ifferent methods, two of them are wave field synthesis i.1 and Ambisonics i.2. Both methods, however, require a large number of microphones and loudspeakers to achieve a sound field reproduction which is sufficiently good for testing purposes. The Wave-Field synthesis setup is that complex and expen

48、sive that it can be neglected for laboratory purposes. Ambisonics, for example, has to be performed using 43 microphones and 43 loudspeakers to reach a good sound field reproduction up to 2 kHz in a sweet spot with radius 15 cm (using the rule of thumb in i.3). It furthermore cannot consider individ

49、ual room characteristics or insufficiencies, but is only designed for rooms offering pure free field conditions. If, e.g. for testing purposes a HATS is positioned in the artificial noise field, the reproduction quality is reduced by an unknown amount. In summary, the Ambisonics approach is due to its design not feasible for the intended testing scenario. The present document introduces an alternative least mean squares method i.4, which requires eight recording channels and eight loudspeakers in order to achieve reasonably good repr
